Harris Boric Acid Roach and Silverfish Killer Powder w/Lure, Powder Duster Included in The Bag (32oz)

I've lived in my apartment for 6 years. Just over the past year, I have seen a few roaches. Not cool. I'm clean and one roach is 'one too many'. I can't use pesticide due to the chemicals with my lungs. Plus they don't work after a while. A neighbor mentioned Boric Acid Powder and I tried it ! I made the 'boric acid balls' I found on YouTube. Flour, sugar, milk and the boric acid. The sugar, etc. is a 'bait' for the roaches. They carry it back to the nest and it kills them. I see a huge difference the first couple of days ! I hear it works well on ants too. For those of you like me, who will not live with roaches. Use boric acid. Make the recipe or just place the powder in cracks and crevices where they hide. * note: if you have small children, use caution*

Not saying I got rid of all the palmetto bugs in my house, but I got rid of about 95%! There’s still the stragglers who are probably hibernating, see then why nice in a while. But mostly all babies are gone because im pretty sure I got rid of the female adults. This will only work if you do it correctly! For any bad reviews, means they didn’t do it right, or they didn’t read!! This does not work great on German, but still helps I love heard. Because boric acid is the only thing that the German species can’t get immune to. Thankfully I didn’t have those. I live in Fla, land of the palmetto! Anyway, TIP: Less is more! Do not over puff everywhere. If they see a pile of powder, they will walk around it. They don’t like this stuff, they don’t hate this stuff. If they see it, they will not eat it. That’s not how it works. You want to dust a fine layer in areas you have seen them. Then, they walk over it, and once it gets on their legs, they lick it off to clean their legs, and that’s how they ingest it. Then, hopefully, when they die, it’s at the nest, because the other roaches will eat the poisoned one, they are cannibals, and they will die also. HUGE TIP: The only place these things can hide where you can get to them is in your walls. So, although unorthodox, I drilled small enough holes every 20 inches for duster to fit in. I did this through my hole house. I dusted in every hole lightly but just enough. Then I got some quick dry putty, and painted over, even though it dried white. I still painted anyway. So that method doubled my success rate! It’s up to you, but when they fall on one of your kids bed! Your going to do things that you normally would not to get rid of them. Good luck. Oh, btw, that powder will stay in your walls forever as long as it doesn’t get wet. So, lifetime protection in wall!! Lol

This product works, it simply works. The factory packaging is interesting. The dispenser, tube, and nozzle are wrapped in shrink plastic that is not sealed. Therefore, I had to reach into the bag, pull out the dispenser, cut the plastic (like heavy plastic wrap) off, dust off the bait with a old paint brush, (I should have worn a mask, heavens knows I have enough of them setting around from COVID) then spoon the product into the dispenser and use. I would have given this 5 stars if it was simply based on the product's effectiveness but the handling was bad. Maybe a ziplock bag or blister pack would be better? I know that everything drives up the cost so maybe it is ok that they maintained a low price and there was a bit of inconvenience in assembly. Regardless, the dispenser works, the product works, it arrived on time, and there is no doubt that I would purchase it again. I don't think I will need to however, with one application, about a tablespoon full, my problem has been solved. ABSOLUTELY worth the trouble of assembly.

Believe me! I was terrorized by german roaches for almost 2 years in the apartment where I live...Ive been trying to get rid of them from day 1... Raid spray kills them on contact but didnt get of the nest... My sister recommended this powder and used it 3wks ago as instructed and there population is down to 99%.....Some persons have the impression that the powder kills instantly..No ..for the first week I was seeing a lot of cockroaches about, but you can tell they were dying...I used the raid spray on them for a more speedy death.. I also ensure my garbage was out during the night seeing that these roaches comes out in their population in the night... Before I used the powder after thorough cleaning of kitchen and cupboards and feeling good about my efforts....low and behold in the dark of the night there is still an invasion of roaches in the kitchen...now even my kids have notice the difference...its Mummy I'm not seeing anymore roaches. I will see 1 or 2 popping up now and again.. but im ever on my alert to eliminate them...I give my God thanks every day...because I was dead sick of these roaches and now its like that burden has been lifted....I am not getting paid to write this but I am so satisfy with the result that I had to return to express my satisfaction about this product...My advise for those who are thinking about using this product.. use as instructed and just be patient and see the result after about a week or 2...Thumbs up all the way.

Incredibly difficult to use. Pieces don't fit together well causing a lot of spills (which have to be cleaned up carefully due to the nature of the product), then once it's put together it sprayed 2 or 3 times before the spray stopped working. Tried taking apart and putting back together, tried filling it different amounts, confirmed it wasnt clogged, tried turning it upside down, more and less pressure, etc. Just doesn't work. I bought this specifically for ease of use! Maybe the powder itself is fine, but I'll never know because most of it is still in the bag (or in the middle of my floor)!

Boric acid? Fine, great even. I think it's insane that the "duster included in the bag" meant it was literally swallowed by the boric acid! I thought there was no way they would just dump the duster directly into the bag of boric acid, but it's deep in there like a lost protein powder scoop. Wild. 0 stars for packaging, 5 stars for substance.

Wow!!!! This stuff really does work!!! The critters are gone
